Teacup Pincushions

A couple of years ago I grabbed some great vintage teacups and my sewing needle and whipped up this idea for pincushions. I was collecting teacups with no real purpose in mind. Here and there I would pot a plant in this one and use that one as a catch-all on my desk. Then I thought: pincushions. Sturdy, classy, and those little saucers would hold all of your odds and ends!

This yellow vintage one was the first of them all (already sold!) :

And a fun collection of colorful teacups and even more colorful fabrics and I suddenly had a collection of these things. You can find many of these and more stillavailable in my etsy shop:

These are by far the cutest pincushions I have ever seen. I essentially started a blog the other day to keep track of all the cute links I likes since my bookmarks are overloaded (There is probably a better way of doing this rather than a blog, I am a little clueless.)This will definitely be going there. I don't really sew but its on my to do list and one of these are a must have. Whats the chance of them being sent to Australia in one piece do you think?

Thank you everyone! Koxan: YES! I can ship to Australia. All of my listing on etsy that can be shipped internationally are marked. These pincushions would ship well in bubble wrap and extra care. I'd love to pack one up for you! :)
